Now, Palin is using a North Salt Lake photographer's copyright picture of a grizzly chasing a wolf in Yellowstone National Park on her Facebook page without crediting him.
Rob Daugherty, a wildlife photographer and tour guide, took the stunning photo Aug. 5, 2010. The image has been posted extensively on the Internet. Daugherty says when his credit line is missing and he informs the the Web venues that it's a copyright photo, they either take it down or add his credit line.
But earlier this week, when he pointed out that Palin's Facebook page had failed to credit him, Palin ignored him.
Instead, several of Palin's Facebook friends derided Daugherty for being petty and praised the former Alaska governor for loving America so much.
Of course as we all know this is not the first time that Palin has been called out for using a copyright protected image and not giving credit, or financial reimbursement, to the folks who own it.
Remember it was just this last April that she finally paid $15,000 to settle a lawsuit over her use of an iconic 9-11 photograph.
By the way I checked and now that photo of the bear chasing the wolf has been removed. However as usual it is too little, too late.
In other news is looks as if there are still a few slow learners willing to pay Sarah Palin to show up and say ignorant things during a fundraiser.
Well hell, she needs to do SOMETHING to raise money to fight copyright infringement lawsuits.
"Copyright Shmopyright" says Sarah Palin.
